- The general design speed for the bridge and road will be 80 km/hour; and a restricted speed of 60 km/hour for road sections running through residential quarters and traffic junctions.
- The longitudinal gradient of the main bridge, viaduct and access road: Imax = 4.5%
- The design frequency: P = 1%.
- The navigable clearance: 30 m x 300m and 39 m x 110 m.
b/ The project structure scale and solution:
- For Can Tho bridge:
Permanent bridge. The bridge size: 24.90 m wide arranged for 4 vehicle lanes x 3.50 m = 14 m; two pedestrian sidewalks x 2.75 m = 5.5 m, median strips and safety architectures of 5.4 m wide.
+ The main bridge: about 1,090 m long, using the flung cable structure, the bridge surface to be made of steel and pre-stressed reinforced concrete beams, with open caisson foundations to be made of reinforced concrete.
+ The viaduct: about 1,630 m long, using pre-stressed reinforced concrete beams, the reinforced concrete pile foundation.
- The bridge access road:
+ Bridge access road: with a cross section of 24.1 m wide, including 4 vehicle lanes x 3.5 m, 2 lanes for rudimentary vehicles, 1 median strip, 2 safety strips and two grass-planted pavements. The structure of non-rigid road surface shall be applied to ensure the designed tonnage.
